About Me

OGP Productions is currently working on many projects including… EXCHANGING AS A CONSEQUENCE OF BUSINESS – Does everything come at a price? Does everything have a middle man pulling the strings? We all face decisions; some are hard and some are easy. Some choices require help and the Entrepreneur will always be a mere call away ready to help. What would a man sell for the chance of change in his life? (Ten screenplay shorts based on the dealing of “The Entrepreneur” – a character understanding)
REASONS FOR HISTORY – Reason exists for remembering yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Knowing the mistakes of the past allow us to move forward as a people, to progress. The People are angry; some talk loudly for change, while others try to force change. Events have been going wrong for too long. The Government does what it needs to; some say they have gone too far, others are willing to go further if needed to protect the institutions and protect the civilization at all cost. Generations of friction have been building. There is a catalyst. He is only known as “Jackson.” Some revere him as a Revolutionary; others fear him as a Revolutionary. Could this one man’s death force the Revolution, force the Civil War that could arise from the ashes of Jackson. Could an entire civilization destroy themselves over an idea? Could a civilization kill for an idea? Could a civilization of art, literature, debate, and hope come to an end sacrificing the future history? (Finishing first draft – preparing for editing and screenwriting competition) SURALITY – A tail of four men and their intertwined fates. Each has a way of living their life. In some form or another we are all judged on the actions we take and the decisions in life we make. Some people feel that the judgment of people rest within their own hands. Perhaps some men are right. A dyeing farm in a dyeing district is the catalyst. Crazy is the only real constant on an old road missing even a single car of traffic. One day will decide if they will escape a dying Congressman’s family farm or be set free back into the world. By dusk, the world will be changed in the hearts of men. (Second draft – approaching financing need) THE UNKNOWING DEAD – A group of lost survivors and what seems to be relentless psychopaths’ at first, are being perused into a changing world. The machines begin to stop; the power slowly turns off district by district, manufacturing comes to an end. What people have is what people have; their skills and their supplies both. After generations of markets and pre made goods, how do people learn to survive without the very help of those convinces down the street? It soon becomes apparent that there is more to this dilemma, the cities are burning and the dead are walking in the streets. (Concept and pre production) THE GREATEST SPORT – The OGP Paintball team is traveling the Northwest from Northern California, Washington Oregon, and Idaho. Although in an off season, we are scattered throughout the Evergreen state. The great team will step back out onto the grass of the speedball course. Sport and competition exists within the soul of people, we have the beauty of competition within us. That feeling will never end, the sport will never end. We play for the beauty of the sport.
MISSION STATEMENT: Never limit yourselves to any particular medium or venture. Dedicate yourself to the different forms of expression that an individual may choose to use for the purpose of self expression, creation, and personal pursuits. Fallow the ideas that represent you, fallow your love, learn about your love, and understand your love. Express yourself in the way you need too without regrets.

My Interests

Film Making – The love of making and writing shorts, to create a piece of thought. All aspects of film creation from concept to viewing: the shooting, the editing, working with people, helping the process to its conclusion. The great sport of paintball, mostly speedball but will always go back to the woods; all paintballers come from the woods. Politics, both international and domestic: the idea of citizenship as a profession. The liberal arts school concept: history, reading, life the good and the bad, the outdoors, the indoors, swimming, walking, running, the quiet and the party, photography, and anything else that I may find myself wanting to dive in. The most important part of all these interests is the connections we form with everyone around us. Life is not so fun when you attempt the job by yourself. My interest are the things I can do with people, if that is making a film, or heading out onto the paintball field, or playing a Sunday tackle football game, then the event becomes my interest. Interests are nothing without sharing those events with the people you care about and the people you could eventually care about.

I'd like to meet:
